SUMMARY:Patriots Breakfast: Saturday, June 10th
DESCRIPTION:\nWhat is a parent’s reward for raising smart, self-reli
ant and competent children? It might be Child Protective Services poun
ding on your door, threatening to take your children away. Recent news
items show CPS lurching from one extreme to another—on one hand rem
oving children from good, loving homes (i.e. “7-year-old boy removed
from Ohio home when parents reject ADHD diagnosis”) while on the ot
her hand failing to rescue children in jeopardy (i.e. “17-month-old
Samaj Crosby found dead inside Joliet home”). What is going on with
the child welfare system? Why is it so broken? Where is the accountabi
lity? What rights do families have? Who is advocating for justice for
children and parents? \nOur June guest speaker will be Diane Redleaf
, Founder and Legal Director of The Family Defense Center. The Family
Defense Center is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to advocat
e justice for families in the child welfare system. They advocate for
families who need help the most: families threatened with losing their
children to foster care. Nothing is more painful for a child than to
be taken from the only parents he or she knows. Yet, child protection
systems throughout America frequently remove children from parents as
a first resort, not a last resort.\nEvery parent and grandparent shoul
d know their rights and how to protect their family from the heavy han
d of too much government intervention. Any family can be the victim of
a false, harassing, or misguided anonymous Hotline call to CPS. Famil
ies everywhere can support the work of the Family Defense Center. Brin
g friends, family and neighbors to hear this important presentation.\n
As always, our \"a la carte\" breakfast items will be available for
purchase.\n\nFor more information visit http://westsuburbanpatriots.ni
